| dc.description.abstract | The hybridisation in the content and performance of Christian gospel and secular music, which became a phenomenon in the 1970s, has generated a lot of arguments from scholars in recent times. Some schools of thought view this synthesis as a development in the right direction while others see it as inimical to gospel music. It is to this end that this paper examines the emergent issues in the hybridisation of Christian gospel music in South-west, Nigeria so as to bring to light issues that characterized the fusion of these two genres. Social cognitive theory (SCT) is used to interrogate the emergent issues raised in this study. It was discovered that hybridisation is caused by factors such as, song texts, melodic pattern, patronage system and spraying of money in church to mention just a few. The study concluded that a new genre is inevitable to accommodate the variances experienced in some Christian gospel music so as not to taint the already established Christian gospel music. | en_US |
